Translated into modern language“Sporuchnitsa” means “mediator, guarantor.” Thus, the icon “Helper of Sinners” is an image of the Mother of God, who acts not so much as a mediator, but as a guarantor, interceding for sinful people before the Lord God, counting on His mercy, and the name of the icon itself arose from the inscription on it, which goes over the head of the Mother of God “I am the Helper of sinners to My Son...”

History of the icon

From the iconography one can judge that this image is ancient, but neither the time nor the place where it was written is unknown. The only thing that can be assumed is its origin from Little Russia or Belarus, since their iconography is characterized by the presence of crowns on the heads of the Mother of God and the Child Christ.

In Russia, the icon of the Mother of God “Support of Sinners” was found in 1843 in the Oryol province. She was in the chapel at the gates of the Odrino-Nicholas Monastery, and her power was revealed by the Mother of God herself to several local residents at the same time, after which a series of events immediately occurred miraculous healings: one little boy was healed from epilepsy, another from paralysis, a blind three-year-old girl received her sight.

The glory of the miraculous icon instantly spread throughout the surrounding area, and it was transferred to the cathedral church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, where a stream of believers poured in to find healing or forgiveness of sins by praying to the “Helper of Sinners” icon.

After the revolution, the icons from the church were distributed among the parishioners, and as a result, by the end of the 20th century, the icon of the Mother of God “Support of Sinners” ended up in Ukraine, which by that time had become an independent state, and even in a private collection. It was necessary to raise a substantial sum to buy back the “Sporuchnitsa” icon and return it to the walls of its native Nikolo-Odrinskaya monastery, which happened in 1996.

No less interesting is the history of the copy from the miraculous icon “Support of Sinners”. In 1846, the hieromonk of the monastery was sent to Moscow so that a suitable robe could be made for the icon. He stayed in the house of a pious parishioner, who was then sent from the monastery a list (an exact copy) of the icon in gratitude. Miraculously, this list began to flow myrrh, and the sick, anointed with this myrrh, were healed.

The miraculous list was donated in 1848 to the Moscow Church of St. Nicholas in Khamovniki; through prayer before him, many healings occurred, which were officially recorded

Currently in Moscow, the icon “Support of Sinners” is located in the Church of St. Nicholas in Khamovniki; there is also a list of it in the Church of the Deposition of the Robe in Leonov.

Despite the great discovery, people did not venerate this image, which required serious restoration, and did not transfer it to the temple. And only after the Mother of God repeatedly came to the local residents in a dream, talking about healing power This icon, the shrine found its place in the church.

Many miracles took place around the image. The first to be healed was a boy who suffered from epileptic seizures. After this, many people who had serious incurable illnesses came to the icon.

This shrine, found in the Oryol Monastery, is a truly unique specimen of its kind. In the image, the Most Holy One folds her hands in a gesture that can be called “guarantee.” This is how the Virgin Mary shows that she vouches for all sinners who vow to no longer do things indecent to God. Baby Jesus Christ squeezes his Mother's hand as a sign that her prayer for peace will be heard.

The rector of the temple organized procession with an icon around the church, praying to the Mother of God for intercession. Through the prayers of the Blessed Virgin, the temple remained safe and sound, and also continued to function.

With the appearance of the icon, real miracles began to happen in the temple - at night, real flashes of light resembling a star appeared outside the window opposite the icon. This was repeated more than once, so the rector of the cathedral turned to Metropolitan Philaret for advice. The answer stated that it was impossible to take the icon from the temple, just as it was forbidden to forbid people to pray in front of the image. At that time, the Russian people, having heard a lot about miracles, came to look at the bright flashes occurring near the image. The non-believers, which included the police, were sure that the luminous flux came from the switched on lamps. But even in the pitch darkness, wonderful star flares continued to appear.

The icon of the Helper of Sinners received its name from the content of one of the scrolls located in the four corners of the icon: “I am the Helper of Sinners to My Son.” Sporuchnitsa - means the Guarantor before Jesus Christ for sinning people, a vigilant Intercessor and Prayermaker for them.

In 1844, the merchant wife Pochepin came to the monastery where the icon of the Helper of Sinners was located (Nikolo-Odrinsky Monastery near the city of Karachev, Oryol province) with her two-year-old son, who was suffering from severe seizures, and asked to serve a prayer service before the icon of the Helper of Sinners. A prayer service was served, and the sick child recovered. Soon other miraculous signs followed from the icon. Since then, the image of the Mother of God in the Nikolo-Odrinsky Monastery began to be considered miraculous. The icon became especially famous for its healings during the cholera epidemic in 1847/48.

In 1846, the hieromonk of the Odrina monastery was sent to Moscow to build a chasuble for the miraculous icon of the Mother of God, Helper of Sinners, where he was sheltered by Lieutenant Colonel D.N. Boncheskul. In gratitude for his hospitality, an exact list (copy) of the miraculous icon, made on a linden board, was sent from the Odrina monastery.

D. Boncheskul reverently placed the resulting icon of the Helper of Sinners with other icons in the home iconostasis. Soon everyone began to notice that an extraordinary shine flashed across the icon of the Helper of Sinners, and drops of oily moisture began to flow from the icon itself. They anointed several sick people with this moisture, and they were healed. Sick people began to come to the icon from all sides, prayed in front of it and received healing.

In 1848, Lieutenant Colonel Boncheskul donated his icon “Supportress of Sinners” to the parish St. Nicholas Church in Khamovniki. The flow of oily liquid from the icon continued, and the deacon standing by the icon wiped off the moisture with paper and distributed it to the people. Soon the myrrh-streaming stopped, but phenomena of unusual light began in the altar of the church in the form of stars appearing and disappearing. The icon became famous for its many officially recorded healings.

Currently miraculous icons Our Lady, the Helper of Sinners, is located in the Nikolo-Odrinskaya hermitage in the village of Odrino, Karachevsky district, Bryansk region and in Moscow in the Church of St. Nicholas in Khamovniki (Lva Tolstoy St., 2, metro station "Park Kultury" (Koltsevaya))
